Yeah, Arcs recieve a small alignment penalty for desecrating graves and destroying statues.
I thought lawfuls got the penalty, not arcs. I was just curious how the game would handle it so I tried.

Eh, Ive decided to start another character anyway. This one wasent doing too well. OMG NEW ARCH FIRST THING I DID WAS DRINK FROM A FOUNTAIN AND GOT WATER DEMON! What should I wish 4?

Blessed greased fixed +2 silver dragon scale mail is always a good choice for a new character, I believe, but consult the wiki to make sure I got that phrase right!

That was a good wish, be CAREFUL of the 1/4 chance of blasting damage though.

I presume you got it blessed, greased, and fixed as well?

Except for the awesome artifacts that are available via wishing.

Lawful has some useful stuff too, like angels being spawn as peaceful, which I can only imagine is SUPER useful for Archons.

Eh, all the artifacts I got while I was neutral were bane weapons. Witch as we all know, suck.

Oh hey, I just now found the harp of atraction. Nice find huh?

I now have a dwarf pet named urist. Oh and I fed my cat a chameleon corpse and it turned into a gargoyle.

Arcs got penalized for breaking "historical" statues. Like statues in Mine town or Oracle level (which have a decent chance of containing spellbooks).

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
